The ability of using leaves Of Myrtus communis, As Biomonitoring Air Pollution Of Some Portable Heavy Metals in Dust Quarries
Abstract
This study aimed to estimate the level of air pollution in some portable heavy metals in dust quarries by leaves of Myrtus communis as biomonitor In site of Kfardabeel Stand- Jableh. The samples of dust and leaves were collected in 2020, Atomic absorption spectrophotometer was used to determine the amounts of Nickel and cadmium (ppm, dry weight).The average of accumulated metals in the Myrtus leaves were estimated: (Cd=0.0.07ppm, Ni=5.88ppm), while their amounts in the dust were done as following: (Cd=0.06 ppm, Ni=7.19 ppm). The values of the elements estimated in Myrtus leaves reflected their values in dust resulting from quarries, and therefore the Myrtus communis leaves can be used as a biomonitor of Cd Ni pollution in the studied site.
